About this product

Product Information

Murders happen every day in the big bad city. They're not such a big deal, you know. Even when the victim is a city councilman as well known as Lester Henderson. But this is the first time Fat Ollie Weeks of the 88th Precinct has written a novel, ah yes. Called Report to the Commissioner, it follows a cunning detective named Olivia Wesley Watts, who, apart from being female and slim, is rather like Fat Ollie himself. While Ollie's responding to the squeal about the dead councilman, his leather dispatch case is stolen from the back of his car -- and in it, the only copy of his precious manuscript. Joined by Carella and Kling from the neighboring 87th Precinct, Ollie investigates the homicide with all the exquisite crudeness, insensitivity, and determination for which he is famous. But the theft of his first novel fills Ollie with a renewed passion for old-fashioned detective work. Following the exploits of one of Ed McBain's most beloved detectives, this lively and complicated novel -- the fifty-second in the award-winning 87th Precinct series -- is perhaps his best book yet.

Not Ed McBain's Best
For 87th precinct fans like me (I now have every one of them), this book's readability totally depends on one's opinion of the character Fat Ollie. If you like Fat Ollie, you will probably find Fat Ollie's quest for his stolen manuscript humorous and a good, fast-paced book. I find Fat Ollie tedious and offensive and even Ed McBain couldn't save a book with Fat Ollie as the main character for me. There were a few mildly funny moments, like the lead character's name in the manuscript and the manuscript itself, but for me it is one that can be ignored.

Fat Ollie's Book by Ed McBain (2003)
Detective Oliver Wendell Weeks of the 88th Precinct, has written a book entitled Report To The Commissoner. He puts the manuscript in a Gucci dispatch case, and places it inside his police car. On the way to the print shop, he is called to investigate a fatal shooting. When he returns to his car, the window is smashed, and his Gucci case and precious manuscript (his only copy) is gone. Teamed with the men of the 87th, Fat Ollie pushes hard to find the murderer of a city councilman, but is obsessed with finding the thief of his manuscript. This book is great,especially if you are a huge fan of Fat Ollie.

The premise of the book was not interesting. Not up the the usual McBain quality. I have read many of McBain's books and this one is not quite there. The novel written by Ollie interrupted the flow of the real stories.
